A new study finds that most Americans are unaware of key facts concerning healthy bones and also lack important knowledge about health issues related to bone disease. These findings were conducted for GTC Nutrition, makers of NutraFlora® short-chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS®) prebiotic dietary fiber, and found startling information ranging from osteoporosis in women to young girls’ calcium intake. The survey findings underscore the opportunity Americans have to increase their overall health and well-being by learning about bone health and the factors that influence it, including calcium absorption. GTC Nutrition’s goal is to make consumers more aware of the risks and provide them with easy choices. GTC Nutrition, Trina O’Brien, 303-468-5077, tobrien@gtcnutrition.com, www.gtcnutrition.com
